I had intended to post this past week, but no topic presented itself. Since I left you staring at a sermon all week, I have decided that there will be no preaching today (and there was rejoicing). Instead, you must promise to think deeply about your spirituality on your own for a few minutes today...

To jump-start your introspection, I have the following list of thought-provoking links. If you only have time for one, take a look a the first one.

G-Log, I imagine there are very few agnostic Q&As because "I'm not sure" would be the answer to every question...

Clay,Although I study Zen the most, I am interested in all the forms of Buddhism. I think that Zen translated to the West well because it was introduced here first, and because it doesn't require the extensive knowledge of Asian cultures that is need to grasp the more 'ethnic' versions of Buddhism.

Zen has always been a smaller denomination, due to its rigorous approach. In the US now, Tibetan Buddhism is growing rapidly, as is Soka Gakai and Jodo Shinshu.

As for Buddhist blogs, I really don't know of any off the top of my head. I sometimes enjoy the Buddhist discussions on Beliefnet, but they tend to become repetitive. Buddhism is really quite simple; if you talk about it a lot, you are bound to go over the same material repeatedly.
